"According to this carnal policy"

P

“Only ye shall not go very far away.”
— Exodus 8:28

This is a crafty word from the lip of the arch-tyrant Pharaoh. If the poor bondaged Israelites must needs go out of Egypt, then he bargains with them that it shall not be very far away; not too far for them to escape the terror of his arms, and the observation of his spies. After the same fashion, the world loves not the non-conformity of nonconformity, or the dissidence of dissent; it would have us be more charitable and not carry matters with too severe a hand.

Death to the world, and burial with Christ, are experiences which carnal minds treat with ridicule, and hence the ordinance which sets them forth is almost universally neglected, and even condemned. Worldly wisdom recommends the path of compromise, and talks of “moderation.” According to this carnal policy, purity is admitted to be very desirable, but we are warned against being too precise; truth is of course to be followed, but error is not to be severely denounced.

“Yes,” says the world, “be spiritually minded by all means, but do not deny yourself a little gay society, an occasional ball, and a Christmas visit to a theatre. What’s the good of crying down a thing when it is so fashionable, and everybody does it?” Multitudes of professors yield to this cunning advice, to their own eternal ruin.

If we would follow the Lord wholly, we must go right away into the wilderness of separation, and leave the Egypt of the carnal world behind us. We must leave its maxims, its pleasures, and its religion too, and go far away to the place where the Lord calls his sanctified ones. When the town is on fire, our house cannot be too far from the flames. When the plague is abroad, a man cannot be too far from its haunts. The further from a viper the better, and the further from worldly conformity the better.

To all true believers let the trumpet-call be sounded, “Come ye out from among them, be ye separate.”

Spurgeon, C. H.

Romans 8v7 tells us that the carnal mind is enmity against God.

Either we belong to God or we do not.
Either we love Him or hate Him.
Either we are His friends or His enemies.

On which side of the line do we stand with God?

For, the simple fact that God because he is God, came down in the form of a man, you know him Jesus, and died on the cross a sinners death, yet he knew no sin, he knew what sin was, yet he knew no sin and took upon himself the curse, for it was a curse to die on a tree or to hang on a tree, yet he did! A shameful death indeed!

Would you do that for me, would you do that for her, or for him, for them….I don’t think so! You don’t have what it takes! How hard can I pull your beard, how many times can I push you away, only to draw you back and pull your beard again.

What if I spit at you, mocking you for spitting on the ground and creating a healing balm out of saliva and dirt so that a beggar would gain his eye sight back? What if I mocked you by spitting at you / talking about you! And you think God can’t hear or see every time you laugh and talk about his chosen his elect. You don’t have what it takes!

You are so self righteous, focusing on the revival that is taking place in the Netherlands, that you fail to see the Kingdom of God in you, and the fact that God is still waiting on you, Oh but no, I’m too busy.

Yes, I agree you’re too busy, dwelling on your own self righteousness, and God has too do it all, because he is God.

With what ordasity do you question God and his Judgment? My ways are not your ways, and my thoughts are not our thoughts, for my thoughts towards you/me are higher then the heavens. With what ordasity do you question God and his Judgment? To build and to tear down. To plant and to uproot.

(Not me, I’m OUT!) .
(When, I’m in – I’m in, and When, I’m out – I’m out!).

Why did God have to come down in the form of a man, only to die on the cross next to a thieve and a murder?! Because, that is what we are, a thieve and a murder!!!!

Give me, Give me, Give, me, -- I Want, I Want, I Want, what have you done for me lately. Look, God is really moving in the Netherlands, Yes! I have a Personal Problems with this, because I had a vision, and I placed it on a (Wall) and quoted a scripture Hab 2, Then the LORD said to me, “write my answer in large, clear letters on a tablet, so that a runner can read it and tell everyone else. But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches then the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed. And he added to the church 500 (+) 5,000 (+) = Revival, the Kingdom of God is in you.
God is omnipotent and omnipresent, he can do what ever the Father places in his heart to do.

ARISE

You don’t know What, you are talking about, LOOK at the (Wall) and the time came, and left and you were left with a vagabond spirit, only to re-live it again, in the natural. Why? You can never out give God.

When you give, it is given unto you a GOOD MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN, SHAKEN TOGETHER, RUNNING OVER, shall MEN give unto your bosoms.

Who am I?

I want thank you for the many times you prayed for me and mine, when I didn’t know how I was going to make it, when I didn’t know how I would pay for the roof over my head, or where my next meal would come from, or how I would make it to God’s dwelling place, you prayed for me. When I was ill, when mine was ill you prayed for me, when I couldn’t pray, when I didn’t know how to pray, you prayed for me. You taught me to have faith. Faith is the substance, of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen, if you can’t see it you patiently wait for it. You taught me, to be strong and to persevere, to call those things that are not, as though they are and they shall come to pass. You taught me to have a two edged sword in my mouth, which is God’s word and not to be a leech!
